Chapter 25
Effie’s POV.
The hair on my skin stands quickly as the adrenaline shoot through my entire body. My blood raged inside my vessels as the fear exploded in my chest.
I saw my own life flash across my eyes for a very quick second as Cain drove head on towards the truck speeding up towards us.
With my heightened hearing, I heard the flicker sound the traffic light made the light switches from green to red. But it was already too late.
Because Cain was still so full of himself and giving in to his very foolish and baseless emotions to make a stop before we rammed into the truck.
My eyes widens and the only thing I could do at that moment was screaming his name, my hands reaching down on the belt securing me against the seat. I didn’t know why I thought the best thing to do at that moment was to take of my seat belt.
I felt my wolf kick in just before I clicked the belt lock, my eyes glowing golden yellow.
It was a security instinct. Something that happens when my wolf senses me in danger. It was a way of me preparing to fight back whatever the danger was..
But what happened next happened so quickly, I could swear it happened in a blink of an eye. In a nano second.
Cain fully grabs the wheel with his hands and with a swift move, swerves the car from the truck’s way.
I don’t realize this until I was hearing the truck’s blaring honk from behind as it passed us.
Apparently, and unknown to me, there was a diverging road by the right of us and Cain quickly swerved towards there, the car making three rough spins before coming to a loud stop in the middle of the road.
The road seems to be for pedestrians only as there are houses and terrace of shops lined up here, people stopping to watching us from corners of shops.
I could hear my own haggard breathing as the car came to a stop. But my eyes are still glowing and my fangs were still protruded.
concerns.
Because I’m not scared anymore. I’m actually very pissed at him.
Snapping my head at him, I found him already watching me, amusement tucking at his lips.
“Hey, easy mama wolf.”
Mama wolf?! I felt more anger instantly.
And all I wanted to do at that moment was to pounce on him.
“What the hell is wrong with you Cain?! You almost killed us!” I sneered at him.
“Baby, you need to calm down, people are watching,” he says softly to me “your eyes, baby, your eyes….”
oh my goodness are they alright?‘ voices came from the background as the onlookers watched and whispered with
Slowly, my heaving chest began to slower down and my anger started to subside. And the color of my eyes started

to dim and slowly change to my human own.
Then I felt Cain’s arm as he moved in closer to me, his body shielding me from the hot sun and the eyes of the prying people. More appropriately, caring people.
I felt his other hand go over my hair and started to stroke it gently and slowly. Like a father consoling his daughter after she’d just got her heart broken by the man she fell in love with.
And the thought of it made me sick.
Why does his arms and embrace feel so good that I actually betray myself and stayed put, when I should be flinching away from him and finding my way out of his car and this very nonsense situation he got us both in just because I was on a date with someone else.
“Ma’am are you alright?” A voice speaking from beside me brings me back from my thoughts, and helping me break from the trance Cain put me in.
out.
I jolt away from him to look at the woman who looked closely into the car to see me, worry written all over her face.
Brushing my now scattered hair behind my ear, I said to her “I’m fine.” Just as I pushed the door open and stepped
“Effie….” I hear Cain call my name but I don’t stop.
“Effie wait!” I heard the car door shot behind him as he ran after me. I didn’t know where I was going but knew anywhere was better than being there with him.
games.
“Effie.” He called after me “Effie please stop!”
His hands yank me back into a stop, spinning me around to face him.
“Can you just listen to me for a minute, please!” He calls desperately. But I’ve just about had enough of his stupid
“Listen to you?” I sneer at him “how can you tell me to listen to you after what you just did, Cain?! You do all the wrong things and then say that you’re sorry! What do you not get, Cain?! I don’t wanna see you! Ever!”
- me.
The silence that followed after my yell was louder than my voice as Cain just stood there, unblinkingly watching
I felt an instant regret wash over me and then I wanted to slap myself for even feeling any regret. I guess he always had this coming.
I saw his chin clench hard as he tried to speak. “You were out here having dinner with that insane….”
“His name is Nathan Moretti, Cain! And he wouldn’t have put my life on the line like you did just now!”
“Okay I’m sorry! I know that I did wrong and I know you’re tired of hearing me say that I’m sorry after screwing up every damn time but what the fuck was I supposed to do when you go off hanging out, going on dates with other men?! You’re my fucking mate, Effie, why don’t you get that?!”
My eyes lowered in bewilderment.
Taking accurate two steps closer so I could close the distance between us and watching his face closely, I said to him “I rejected you, Cain. And you accepted it.”
His Adam apple moves quickly as he swallowed hard.
“I never accepted it Effie,” his voice is hoarse and dry “I didn’t mean that…”

Chapter 25
“So why did you do it, Cain?! Why did you humiliate me like that in front of all those people? Why didn’t you claim me as your mate beneath that volcano that day and went ahead to get married to your chosen mate?!
His eyes moves over my face as they scanned me gingerly. Then he grabs my hand in one swift move and started pulling me towards a corner.
People watched until we disappeared behind the dark alley.
I struggled to break my hand free from his but he just pushed me against the wall of a store, his body quickly pressing up against mine and holding me in place.

Everything about this situation screamed danger in my head but somehow, my body was willing to listen to my
Because everything he did felt right. The feel of his body against mine just felt too right
And I couldn’t push him away if I wanted to.
I felt his warm breath fan my face as his face came over mine. I wanted to move my face away but the look on his eyes kept me in place.
I watched his icy blue eyes they inched closer and closer to me.
“I did everything I did that day to protect you, Effie,” he said softly, his breath fanning my face “to protect you and Gage. And not a single day passed that I didn’t regret everything that I did to you. Especially raping you on that bed.”
My heart tugged.
“I know it’s completely rude of me but I keep thinking about that day and all I can think about is how much I want to have you,” he continues softly, his hand going over the dress on my thighs and caressing gently “how I want to put my fangs to your neck and mark you, make you mine…..”
His hand slides up until they rested on my waist and side of my ass.
“But I must do this correctly. I cannot touch you unless you forgive me, Effie. Unless you want me to.”
I don’t know why but a sinful sigh is escaping my lips the next moment.
“I do not want anybody else touching you, Effie. I hate to see that scumbag with you, Effie.” His voice trails off as he moves back.
His eyes watched me for a long while before they dropped on my lips. I cannot say that I didn’t see it coming. That I didn’t think he wouldn’t kiss me.
Because then I would be lying.
And his lips did come crashing down on mine. Softly. Fiercely. Beautifully.
